Where is Hilda Hilst? Critical reading of Cantares do sem nome e de partida, discusses the relation of farewell staged in poems of her last book of inedited poems published with the effective gesture to announce the interruption of more than forty years of continuous publications. Founded and built under the sign of parting, these poems delineate the matrix of occidental poetry, its historical context, as a territory for alliances and for ethical and aesthetic transgressions. Subverting the absence that establishes and mobilizes the creation of texts in the traditions in question, the Troubadours lyric and the Mystics fable, Hilda Hilst constructs this absence. From the absence built by the poems of the Cantares do sem nome e de partida, and starting at the announcement of the end of new publications, a shift of the author s place of enunciation in the cultural scene triggers a paradoxical space: closed and opened (closed in the measure where she defines her work as finished, opened in the extent where the author can mention its activity of writer and its literary pursuits with in the critical distance of the past). This new space created, propitious to emergency of politics voices, at the same time it allows the circulation of this text and also from other texts by Hilda Hilst (until then barely unknown by non-specialist readers on account of the type of marketing distribution that they had), also it places in question the criteria of election and distribution of the publishing market.
